Release of Cheetah3D 7.4

24. Aug. 2019

We are pleased to announce the release of Cheetah3D 7.4. The main focus of v7.4 was to add support for app notarisation and to fix some smaller problems which surfaced on macOS 10.15 Catalina (Beta).
App notarisation is a new security technology from Apple which is mandatory for all newly released apps since June 3rd 2019. So it was obvious that Cheetah3D has to support app notarisation.
To notarise an app the software has to be sent to Apple where Apple scans the software for malicious code. If Apple doesn't find any malicious code it notarises the app and the end user has some more confidence that the software doesn't cause problems.
Unluckily notarisation also comes with some limitations like it's no longer possible to run non-notarised code. So scripts which run non-notarised native code will stop working.
